Hiring Writers For WWENews.net

Stay-at-home adoptive and step-mom to four bizarre children from 10-27! When not trying to keep control over my herd, I'm either writing, spending time with my rock and writing groups or enjoying time with my service dog. I'm involved with NaNoWriMo and the SCA.
I love wrestling with all my heart and completely enjoy writing about it and discussing it with others. Please don't hesitate to friend me on Facebook but make sure you tell me who you are, and follow me on Twitter!

I watch Batista vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania 23 and it made me think how amazing how Undertaker can at 40-something and 6 foot 10 300lbs man can leap over the ropes like a 5 foot 10 210lbs man who is 32.

Not really, as it has happened before and was done more for storyline progression. And while the same could be argued here, Cesaro has never had the push Kofi has.

The Breaker

It’s not like Kofi has really seen the main event though. And recently he’s really been floundering. None of us saw him beating Orton. Meanwhile, Cesaro has been in a prominent tag team in a time where the division has been strong.

Jesse Sherwood

Yes, but Kofi was also featured heavily at a time when the mid card scene was quite strong. It could be said they had equal levels thanks to that. And while Cesaro has been in a tag team when the division was strong, the team he has been in has been middle of the road to weak at best, losing even to a joke team like Los Matadores on a regular basis for a while.

The Breaker

Fair points. But the Orton/Kofi match happened in 2009, I believe. That was a long time ago in WWE terms. And its impact was inconsequential. Kofi benefited very little if at all from that. I think they’ve built up Cesaro a lot better over the short time he’s been around. He’s still treated like a formidable opponent no matter who he faces, whereas Kofi has been little more than a jobber in many instances. And not to mention that his character has gotten no attention by Creative. At least Cesaro has been though some changes.

I have no problems with the name changes of Big E and Cesaro. They are easier to chant, Simpler, and everyone called them by that in the first place so they might as well go with it. Same thing as when WWE did it’s name change.

It’s a pretty good song. Kind of nostalgic for me. I think it could work as an entrance theme, but it’s better suited for a face. Reigns could turn babyface when he breaks off from The Shield though. It seems that they’ll go that way.

Brandon Ceielo

It’s SmackDown! and I have good internet and just let the dogs out for their walk. *happy atm*
Impact! was surprisingly decent last night so there’s nothing bunching my mood today.

Jesse Sherwood

Good to see you Brandon!

Brandon Ceielo

Hey, good to see you (and everyone else) on here tonight.
I missed the beginning of this 6-Man Tag but I’m hoping the rest of the matches are good as well since we already got Bryan, Christian and The Shield.

Jesse Sherwood

Well, I missed all of it because I am doing school work with my oldest while watching my youngest play. I’ll be watching after they go to bed.

Alex Gallardo

YAY FOR BEING CHILD FREE.

Jesse Sherwood

*finds Alex has a long lost 5 year old* Now you aren’t!

Alex Gallardo

WTF
I’ve never even been with a girl before
Who the hell did I get pregnant?

SD! rarely ever did. It was actually my show of choice for a few years because of all the good matches they had on it.

Brandon Ceielo

Normally I’d be against a Bryan loss while he’s on such a rise, but it’s The Shield! A Six-Man Tag should have the team that’s really a team be the winners.
Also forgot it’s Valentine’s Day! (I don’t have anything planned for my gf today!)

Alex Gallardo

Ugh, Valentines day
I hate that day
Mostly because I spend it alone and lonely
Hopefully next year will be a different story.

I know. He was on the screen. That’s the worst news WWE delivers these days.

The Breaker

They’re wasting Barrett on this cheap heat gimmick. That’s all he’s there for. Maybe they’re just doing this so that the crowd actually reacts to him when he gets back in the ring. I don’t think they’d actually do it, but at WrestleMania a Triple Threat between Barrett, Cesaro, and Sheamus would be a SLOBBERKNOCKER!

1 stranger…picked to live in the mid-card…and have his career killed…to find out what happens…when athletes stop getting pushed…and start getting humbled.

Mr.V

a little OT but, could it be said that Daniel Bryan has single handedly brought back crowd participation?
It seems like it to me crowds have been AWESOME lately!

The Breaker

I agree. It started the night after WrestleMania last year.

Mr.V

He’s quickly becoming one of the greatest crowd controllers in all of wwe history it’s amazing.
Never stops amazing me how into him they are. Who else since the attitude era has had that kind of callbacks from the crowds?? or the wooooooooooooaaaaahhh for almost all of his moves?? It’s like nothing Ive ever seen.

It started the night after Wrestlemania 28. Remember that crowd saved daniel bryan by chanting for him all night long and chant yes all night long after that 18 second loss. they forced the Yes shirt and Bryan to remain at the top of the card.

I completely agree, and have been hoping for Cesaro to be really noticed by the fans. I love him.

Brandon Ceielo

I’m just happy that the fans are getting to see him. I loved him as part of Kings of Wrestling and liked him a lot alone. Seems like he’s just getting more solid both on the mic and in the ring the more he’s around.

michael

I was there. The fans in SoCal is a different breed.We all seen Cesaro come up through the indies. He was a staple in PWG. As Richard says he is over like rover.

Ashley

That was a nice swing

The Breaker

Cesaro Swing on Orton! Glorious!

David Jr.

Funny he started doing the Cesaro Swing in the WWE on Saturday Morning Slam. (I know he did it before coming to WWE, but I mean when he started using it in the WWE.)

Can somebody in this god damn place give Orton credit? That man just pumps out world class matches left and right. If he was a former indie guy people would be praising him non stop. Say what you want about his mic skills (Which have improved as of late), in that ring, not many wrestlers can touch him. Kudos to Cesaro too, he’s a big time player too.

michael

I agree. Orton has been on point lately. I wish they would have him feud with new guys.
